Live football tickets website

[GASC1980]

Anyone ever used this site before to buy tickets for games abroad? Any feed back if you have? Pacman how do you get yours? I'll be in Valencia weekend of 5th January and noticed they are at home in La Liga against Girona that weekend so thought I would go along.

I always start by emailing the club directly. (due to the fact some websited dont translate) Usually works. 24 games abroad(non Dons related) and only one club did not reply Basel(stuck up c@nts) but got a ticket on the night. Borussia Dortmund replied but were sold out and they apologised. So i used Footballticketnet.com and paid double which was about 20 quid(glad i did as it was 8-4). Turned up at my hotel in Dortmund and my ticket was waiting for me. Got a reply from everyone else, alot of the teams held a ticket and only wanted a scan of photo id and i picked up on the day and showed them the id. Either that or they sent me a link to where to buy. I just booked my next trip (Fortuna Dusseldorf) a few days ago. Went for a shower after i booked and emailed and i had a reply by the time i was out.

Its a doddle usually.

To note my old boys been(Shakhtar in the CL) and he loved it so much his diddy team is Valencia and he pretty much watches ever game they have on sky

But i would advise a) go on their website and see if you can buy if not find a contact and email them

Cheers Pac. Great info. Will get on to it. Valencia v Girona on the 6th/7th, Spurs V Everton on the 13th and Dons v Saints on the 20th. Am sure if you've never been to Dusseldorf you'll love it. Cracking city. Usual seedy spots near the main train station but you can't fail to enjoy the old town beside the river. Bars and restaurants aplenty.

Stayed in Dusseldorf for the Borrussia Monchengladbach 5 Aberdeen 1 pre season friendly a few seasons ago. Played Bochum same trip.

I chose Dusseldorf for the city and tied it in with fitba. Fly over Thurs morning, Friday night game Fly home on the saturday morning straight to Hamilton at Pittodrie with a wheat beer hangover

Just go direct to their website and you'll probably be able to choose a seat off a plan just like Pittodrie. I'd be very surprised if they didn't have an English version of their website.

Alternatively just go to the stadium once you arrive - their average crowd is mid 30ks and stadium holds 55,000 so can't imagine tickets being in short supply!

Should have listened to you and taken your advice! They were selling tickets for all parts of the ground on the day and there was just shy of 28000 there. Old old stadium but fantastic all the same. I went up to the very back row behind the goal just to see what it was like. Jeezo if you suffer from vertigo you better go nowhere near it. I was about 5 yards away from the pitch but about 200 hundred feet up!!! I could see the whole city. Started raining in the second half and the folk in front of me put up brollies. Didn't impede my view at all it's that steep. Good game. Girona took about 200 fans. Not bad considering the distance and that it was a public holiday. Smashing city and pretty cheap for beers. Manolo the famous Spanish drummer is some character, he was working in his bar across the road from the ground before the game and happily chatted away to me.

Worth taking a trip?

I would say so. It's a bigger city than I thought. I did miles of walking but the metro is easy to use. Beers and tapas in small bars and restaurants outwith the main city centre are cheap and cheerful. I don't speak Spanish and found that a lot of people other than young folk don't speak much English. I felt it was nice and relaxed and chilled out. Even though it was quieter than it normally would have been given that it was their Christmas and a public holiday on the day of the game there was a lot going on. The weather for the time of year was a bonus. I enjoyed the ground even though it's old and past it. Easy to get to and plenty of bars around the ground. Residential housing on 3 sides of the ground although the roads all round 4 sides are wide so the ground doesn't impinge on the housing. It's certainly a city I would go back to. Be sure to let me know if you go. Anyway on to Spurs v Everton at Wembley this Saturday.

Düsseldorf old town is great.
Various streets of purely bars & restaurants. Mainly bars.
Not a lot else to it but good for a couple of nights.
